PSA: MGM is not hiding the hard sci-fi element in Project Hail Mary (spoiler at link) notfabio Jun 30, 06:42

There's no way they should have shown that in this trailer. The tone is also way off? {nm} Moviesnob Jun 30, 10:16

If you havent read the book, I would skip the trailer. Just bad marketing on a few levels {nm} Moviesnob Jun 30, 10:27

Huh? Isn't it the other way around? It's not a movie spoiler if it's in the trailer. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 10:38

That spoiler this far out is just bad marketing. Plus it will limit the audience AND the tone is way off. its just goofy. Moviesnob Jun 30, 11:05

Test screenings probably show that the alien will be a major draw and draws in more casuals than say Interstellar. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 11:27

possibly? I dont know but can easily find out. I think making more mysterious is better than giving it all away {nm} Moviesnob Jun 30, 11:44

Goofy is too be expected from Lord & Miller. Marketing needs to differentiate PRJHM from the similar Nolan pic. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 13:58

disagree! we remember how INTERSTELLAR was marketed much differently {nm} Moviesnob Jun 30, 14:12

This is playing in front of JURA7 and other summer movie. Casual moviegoers will decide whether to buy a tix based on the trailer. {nm} Antibody Jun 30, 10:42

not nine months out they can't yet {nm} Moviesnob Jun 30, 11:05

tor me felt like the same humor-while-facing-crisis tone that The Martian had, which I liked {nm} tealfan Jun 30, 12:30

I haven't read the book, I just hope that spoiler in the movie didn't also spoil the answer the movie builds up to {nm} tealfan Jun 30, 12:27

*spoiler in that trailer I mean {nm} tealfan Jun 30, 12:32
